BS-1
Control your BOSS pedal from the top of it, not from beside it.
The BS-1 Footswitch gives you external control over your BOSS pedal without giving up a single inch of pedalboard space. Designed to sit directly on top of the pedal it controls, the BS-1 puts the switch exactly where your foot already is.
Choose your switch type:
- BS-1L (Latching): for pedals whose remote jack switches between two modes and has to stay where you put it: the BOSS Angry Driver JB-2, DS-2 Turbo Distortion, SD-2 Dual OverDrive and OD-2R Turbo OverDrive. On the DS-2, set the Turbo selector to II (REMOTE) so the footswitch takes over.
- BS-1M (Momentary): for time-based or loop pedals like the BOSS DD-8 Digital Delay and BOSS RC-2 Loop Station, where tap tempo needs a switch that springs back. Also compatible with the BOSS DD-7, DD-5, DD-3T, PH-3, RE-2, SDE-3, SL-2, AW-3, SY-1 and XS-1.
Playing a BOSS RC-5, RC-3, RC-1 or RT-2? The BS-1 will not reach them. These four put their remote jack at the top of the pedal rather than the bottom, too far for the BS-1M's cable. Take the BS-2M instead: the same momentary switch with a longer cable, made for the RC-5, RC-3, RC-1 and RT-2.
Key Features:
- Space-Saving Design - Mounts right on top of your BOSS pedal, preserving pedalboard real estate.
- Matched to the Pedal - Two switch types, so the action matches what the host pedal actually expects.
- Plug-and-Play Setup - No complicated installation. Just plug it in and go.
- Built to Perform - Crafted from durable, high-quality materials to endure heavy gig use and studio sessions.
- Compact & Lightweight - Adds control without adding weight or bulk to your rig.
Technical Features:
- Latching or momentary switch, selected by variant
- Normally closed switches
- Mogami W2314 cables
- Squareplugs SP400 connectors
- Designed to attach securely onto BOSS compact pedals
- No modifications to the pedal
- No extra tools necessary

Three parts. No tools.
Mounts on top
Fixes straight onto the host enclosure with the hardware in the box. Nothing permanent, nothing drilled.
Zero board space
It lives on the pedal it controls, so you get a real external switch and give up exactly none of your board.
Gig-ready
Hand-soldered, Mogami cable with Squareplug ends. Built to be stepped on for years.
Players on the BS-1.
Having this simple switch on JB-2 will set 3 different sound. Goodbye to huge and pedalboard unfriendly FS-7.
Clean
Over Drive
Distortion
The BS-1 installs perfectly with my BOSS RC-3 and unlocks a new level of looping for me. It really took up no space as advertised. I carry this to live looping gigs with just one pedal and played the whole show with this switch. Recommend.
Fantastic product, very easy addition to adapt to. 👍
Know it inside out.
